Hilton Head Prep 74, Porter-Gaud 55: John Eck scored 28 points and Randy Young had 26 to help the Hilton Head Prep boys basketball team pick up a rare win over region opponent Porter-Gaud, 74-55, on Friday night.

The final score was nearly the opposite of the teams' meeting up in Charleston earlier this year, when Hilton Head Prep lost 79-56.

Friday's game looked like it was going to be a tight one, with host Prep holding a 28-26 lead at halftime. But the Dolphins found another gear over the final two quarters.

"Great ball movement and sharing the basketball," Prep coach Jerry Faulkner said. "They're very athletic and they were pressing, and we were able to find the open man. That was the difference. It was a total team effort."

Eck also added 10 rebounds and Young had seven. Brennan Mikell contributed 10 points and four boards for the Dolphins (10-5 overall, 2-4 region), who host Beaufort Academy on Tuesday.

K.J. James had 35 points -- going 17 of 21 from the free-throw line -- to lead Porter-Gaud. He scored 44 in the teams' earlier meeting.

Beaufort High 58, Colleton County 46: Beaufort High continued its strong season, picking up a Region 8-AAAA win over visiting Colleton County.

The Eagles (5-7 overall, 1-3 SCISAA Region 3-AAA) next play at First Baptist on Saturday.
